Cookies. Candies. Pie.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a trifecta of holiday goodness. And, a whole lot of carbs to derail a year of healthy habits. It\u2019s all about striking a balance between maintaining my weight loss<\/a><\/strong> and taking part in the festivities.<\/p>\n

Family gatherings take place in the kitchen and celebrations revolve around food. Dessert is as much a part of the holiday traditions as Santa and stockings. So, what\u2019s a carb loving girl to do when she goes home for the holidays?<\/p>\n

This girl enjoys the carbs. In moderation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the last year, I have allowed myself to indulge in birthday cake, holiday desserts<\/a><\/strong> and my favorite candies \u2013 one at a time. There\u2019s a fine line between enjoying a few Christmas cookies and eating a dozen.<\/p>\n

I just have to find it \u2013 and stay on the side of healthy balance.<\/p>\n
